Outcome Following Bariatric Surgery in Super versus Morbidly Obese Patients: Does Weight Matter?

Background: Numerous investigators have attempted to identify prognostic indicators for successful outcome following bariatric surgery. The purpose of this study was to determine whether degree of obesity affects outcome in super obese [>225% ideal body weight (IBW)] versus morbidly obese patients (160-225% IBW) undergoing gastric restrictive/bypass procedures. Methods: Since 1984, 157 patients underwent either gastric bypass or vertical banded gastroplasty. Super obese (78) and morbidly obese (79) patients were followed prospectively, documenting outcome and complications. Results: Super obese patients reached maximum weight loss 3 years following bariatric surgery, exhibiting a decrease in body mass index (BMI) from 61 to 39 kg/m² and an average loss of 42% excess body weight (EBW). Morbidly obese patients had a decrease in BMI from 44 to 31 kg/m² and carried 39% EBW at 1 year. After their respective nadirs, each group began to regain the lost weight with the super obese exhibiting a current BMI of 45 kg/m² (61% EBW) versus 34 kg/m² (52% EBW) in the morbidly obese at 72 months cumulative follow-up. Currently, loss of 50% or more of EBW occurred in 53% of super obese patients versus 72% of morbidly obese (P < 0.01). Twenty-six percent of super obese patients returned to within 50% of ideal body weight (IBW) while 71% of morbidly obese were able to reach this goal (P < 0.01). Co-morbidities and complications related to surgery were similar in each group. Conclusions: Super obese patients have a greater absolute weight loss after bariatric surgery than do morbidly obese patients. Using commonly utilized measures of success based on weight, morbidly obese patients tend to have better outcomes following bariatric surgery.     

胃癌单克隆抗体在裸鼠移植瘤中的免疫定位和显像

本文采用Ｉｏｄｏｇｅｎ法将鼠抗人胃癌单克隆抗体ＲＳＦ９（ＩｇＭ）予以１３１Ｉ标记，研究ＲＳＦ９在荷人胃癌裸鼠中的定位和显像能力。结果表明，ＲＳＦ９在体内能特异性地与肿瘤组织结合，Ｔ／ＮＴ比值随时间延长逐渐升高，９６ｈＴ／ＮＴ比值均大于２．５，瘤／血比值为２．６９，肿瘤定位指数达５．１８，ＳＰＥＣＴ得到清晰的肿瘤图像。ＲＳＦ９具有良好的体内导向定位能力。ＩｇＭ型单抗也可用于肿瘤显像。     

胃复春片对慢性胃病患者窦D细胞的影响

目的：探讨胃复春片治疗慢性胃病患者前后生长抑素内分泌细胞(D细胞)数量变化。方法：用免疫组化酶链亲合素过氧化酶复合技术(SABC)对患者治疗前后胃粘膜组织的D细胞染色，观察治疗前后D细胞的形态和数量变化。结果：经胃复春片治疗后，患者胃窦粘膜D细胞阳性数及强阳性率均明显下降，有显著意义。结论：胃复春片对慢性胃病患者生长抑素D细胞有调整作用。     

脑出血患者血清胃泌素水平测定及意义

目的探讨血清胃泌素水平与脑出血并发应激性溃疡之间的关系.方法用放免法测定脑出血病人发病后24小时内及恢复期血清胃泌素水平,并与正常人作对照.所获数据用t检验.结果脑出血病人发病后24小时血清胃泌素水平较正常对照组明显增高,合并应激性溃疡出血者升高更显著,恢复期病人血清胃泌素水平与正常对照组相比无显著性差异.结论胃泌素在脑出血并发应激性溃疡的发生中起重要作用.

Use of commercially available cell culture inserts for primary culture and electrophysiologic studies of guinea pig gastric mucous epithelial cells

Summary The adherence, growth, and electrophysiologic properties of guinea pig gastric mucous epithelial cells were investigated using porous membrane filters. We also tested three commercially available Ussing-type chambers that were designed to be used with the various porous membrane supports. Overall, the 0.45-µm Falcon-Cyclopore porous membrane was found to be very favorable for the consistent attachment and growth of our cells. This same filter also gave good results in the detection of periodic acid Schiff-positive mucous glycoprotein and Nile red neutral lipid fluorescence in the gastric mucous cells. Our cells grew poorly on collagen-coated Costar-Snapwells and Millipore Millicell-CM porous filters. For measurement of transepithelial potential difference resistance, and short-circuit current, the Costar-Snapwell with the Costar-Snapwell Diffusion-chamber system was superior in design and operation when compared to the Costar Transwell-COL, Falcon-Cyclopore, or Anotec-Anocell porous inserts used with conventional Ussing-chambers. The gastric mucous cells grew best on ICN-Cellagen membranes, but these filters routinely detached from their plastic holder and therefore could not be used for Ussing-chamber studies. The large 24.5-mm, 0.40-µm pore size Costar-Transwell-COL and the 24.1-mm, 0.45-µm Falcon-Cyclopore membranes gave good results when used in a modified horizontal-chamber for microelectrode analysis of membrane potentials and resistances of the gastric mucous cell monolayers.

胃癌组织中雌激素受体的表达及其临床意义

采用石蜡切片免疫组化法，测定了４８例胃癌组织中雌激素受体的分布。结果阳性者１７例，阳性率３５．４％；同时测定１２例非肿瘤性胃粘膜（慢性炎症及胃溃疡）作为对照，结果仅１例阳性（８．３％），两者之间有明显差异（Ｐ＜０．０１）。各年龄组及性别间差异均无统计学意义。将胃癌分成分化型及未分化型（包括印戒细胞癌）两组，结果显示未分化型癌的阳性率（６１．５％）比分化型者（１８．２％）明显增高（Ｐ＜０．０ｌ）。表示雌激素在癌的发生、发展中有明显的刺激作用，癌细胞的生长及恶性度对雌激素有一定依赖性。临床上应用内分泌疗法对雌激素受体阳性肿瘤进行辅助治疗是行之有效的。
